Psychedelic Parenting Podcast #24

Envisioning the Cosmos of Cannabis: Re-educating the masses, With Terra Celeste

This week’s guest is Terra Celeste. Terra is a writer, traveler, artist, mother of 2, and organizer with a background in non-profit, community based finance, book-keeping and small event fundraising. Terra works in many capacities to support and facilitate art, artists and creative living in everyday life. One of her deep passions is the collaborative art form of film, and creating community events around independent film screenings. She describes her online presence as “a neo-cultural curation, featuring art, blogs, podcasts, photos, music, events and festivals exploring the psychedelic, visionary edges and depths of modern day.”

In this conversation, Jonathan and Terra talk about her role as a Burning Man volunteer, the current state of cannabis prohibition around the USA, “cannabis vs marijuana,” and how the pro-legalization world can stop preaching to the crowd and begin to more radically change hearts and minds through comprehensive education, directed not just at kids, but at adults who need help understanding how we have gone from our “reefer madness” and “gateway drug” approaches to legal recreational experiences in Oregon and Colorado in such a short period of time.

Upcoming Events:

The fall conference season is just around the corner, and tickets just went on sale for three exciting events that we want to tell our listeners about.

First is The 2nd Annual Detroit Entheogenic Conference, hosted by Kilindi Iyi. In 2014, this conference was the first of its kind in the Midwest region. This year promises to be equally exciting. The event will be held October 28th-30th at the Historic First Unitarian Church of Detroit. Tickets for the 3-day event are $200 or $100 for students and $150 for seniors. With our friend Kilindi at the helm, this promises to be a fundamentally different kind of conference than any you’ve experienced. Jonathan will be presenting on the history of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and how it applies to today’s growing movement of entheogenic spirituality and religion. Psychedelic Parenting will also have a table at the event, so come see us and get a sticker for your laptop or a poster for your wall!
